Fun full day tour from Danang to Hue - We were staying at Danang, sort of as our base, and exploring north and south from there. My husband and I ended up being the only two in the group, and we had a private car and guide and driver, all for a very reasonable price. It was quite a long, hot day - we visited Vietnam in August, which was our fault (except we couldn't go any other time) and it is was a fair distance from our hotel to Hue. The stop at the pearl place in Lang Co Beach was, I felt for us at least, unnecessary. And, quite frankly, the stop at the Thien My Pagoda was also unnecessary (and the short boat trip awkward. The proprietor of the boat really wanted us to buy her souvenirs). Lunch was amazing. That being said, if we had done nothing but stop at the Tomb of Khai Dinh and the Citadel in Hue, I think I would have liked that even better. The Tomb was unexpectedly gorgeous. We also really enjoyed the Citadel in Hue. Our tour guide and our driver were both lovely. I know it sounds super cheesy, but we paid to dress in the royal robes and get our pictures taken at the Citadel. It was only a few dollars and the pictures are fun souvenirs.

Great day out with energetic tour guide - Great day out with Loan, it was super hot out so I would not do this activity again, but still would recommend to friends. Appreciated the whatsapp message the night before with a more accurate pickup time for the tour. The pearl sales pitch/bathroom stop wasn't too necessary but most viator tours have these stops and the operators get some sort of kickback so I guess they have to make money too. we were given plenty of time to take pictures and/or explore on own and Loan was happy to take some pix of us as well. For the citadel tour, I appreciated that she recommended everyone follow her on the tour as I wasn't about to self explore with the large size of the city. I think it was just enough walking - any more would have been too tiring in the heat.
